Episode 497: A Moon Made of Cheese

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Obi-Wan: I examine the Peace Moon plans from Dookû's ship.
GM: The on-board computers were destroyed in the crash. All you have is the copy that R2 made. It shows an artificial moon constructed of rock.
Obi-Wan: No weapons installations?
GM: No. There's a small memorial to those killed in the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo.
GM: Soon to be known as the First Invasion if you don't—
Anakin: {entering} Something wrong, Master Obi-Wan?
Obi-Wan: Anakin. There's something about this moon. Something that's being hidden from us.
Anakin: You're too suspicious. It's just a moon. Palpatine himself authorised it. There was even an oversight committee.
R2-D2: Hey, nobody wanted to find a giant mega-weapon more than me.
R2-D2: I'd be half-way to taking over the Republic by now: I'd add a backdoor control mechanism, outsource production to three independent contractors on Kamino, ensure the Senate are distracted by some meaningless invasion somewhere, and cover my tracks with fake blueprints.

R2-D2: What?
